Hero Zat Gun

Production Description: Hero Zat gun used by both Jaffa and humans in the production of Stargate SG-1. Zat'ni'katels were introduced in the SG-1 Season One finale, "Within the Serpent's Grasp," as a less-powerful alternative to the much larger staff weapon. The name, and the 3-shots-desintegrate nature of the Zat gun became the butt of numerous in-jokes, namely in the 100th episode "Wormhole X-Treme!"
Technical Description: Production made resin weapon painted dark bronze with turquoise patina and purple detailing on end. Weapon is hinged at two places along body with black tape covering hinges, some of the tape has become separated from production use. Weapon head slides forward and has two opening nose caps. Inside the head is a simulated circuit board piece. There is a tire valve stem inside a hole in the lower tail of the prop. When closed, prop measures approx. 8.5in x 8in x 2in.
